The University of British Columbia’s innovative Integrated Engineering Program (IGEN) offers a multidisciplinary undergraduate engineering education. Students take courses in core subjects and elective courses in at least two of the traditional engineering disciplines offered at UBC.

IGEN provides design and project management experience by means of design project courses taken in each year of the program. Technical skills, communication skills, and the ability to work with others to complete challenging projects are emphasized in these courses.
